黑龙江龙江县2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练（6）2016高考英语阅读理解人物传记/故事类 cheaters called “pirates” often use camcorders(便携式摄像机) and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters in the local theater. these pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the internet for very low prices. some share them for free.“its unfair for people to pirate movies,” says 15-year-old hadaia azad ezzulddin. movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees. hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. hadaias idea uses infrared(红外线的) light. this range of light is invisible to the human eye. it is visible, however, to many types of cameras. theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. the lights would not disturb people watching the movie. it would, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras. to test her idea, hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside. then, she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box. she took recordings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. these included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders. during some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or leds. the leds were embedded（植入的）in a certain place behind the movie screen. they gave out infrared light. sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the leds were on. it might be possible to use the leds to flash the date and time on the movie screen. the information would then appear in the illegal recordings. theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates. cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy. six out of every ten films now produced arent profitable. they dont make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to become blockbuster hits. it might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types.【小题1】from what hadaia says in paragraph 2, we can infer that _. amost people spend less money on pirates movesbthe pirates dont have to pay for the

symbolizing the united states, is pictured as a tall, white-haired man with a beard. he is often dressed in red, white, and blue, and wears a top hat. the exact origins of uncle sam as a symbol for the united states are unknown, but most people accepted the idea that uncle sam was named after samuel wilson. during the war of 1812, samuel wilson was a businessman from troy, ny that supplied the u.s. army with beef in barrels（桶）. the barrels were labeled “u.s.” which stood for uncle sam wilson. the suggestion that the meat shipments came from “uncle sam” led to the idea that uncle sam symbolized the federal government and association stuck. in 1961, congress passed a resolution that recognized samuel wilson as the inspiration for the symbol uncle sam.but sam wilson looked nothing like the uncle sam pictured above. uncle sams traditional appearance, with a white beard and star-spangled suit, is an invention of artists and political cartoonists. one of these political cartoonists was named thomas nast. nast produced many of the earliest cartoons of uncle sam. the most famous picture of uncle sam appeared on an army recruiting（征兵）poster. the poster was designed in world war i, and was used again in world war ii, on which reads “i want you for u.s. army.” james montgomery flagg drew this picture, and served as the model too!today, uncle sam is a symbol of the united states that is recognized around the world.33. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. uncle sam was a character created by the government of the united states. b. samuel wilson, a businessman, sold meat to american troops during the war of 1812. c. uncle sam was based on an entertainer to show americans were popular people.d. the image of uncle sam has been used to

uncle sam symbol is the best of all american symbols d. opinions differ about how uncle sam became a national symbol35. which of the following can best sum up the passage?a. the name uncle sam first appeared during the war of 1821.b. there are many symbols of the united states，including uncle sam.c. over time，the image of uncle sam came to represent the united states.d. uncle sam is a national

the organization that eventually became the eu，the treaty of rome，stated that each country s language must be treated equally.the original six countries had only three languages between them：french, german and dutch/flemish.however，there are now 15 countries in the eu，with a total of 12 languages.eu documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.all this translating is very expensive and time consuming(费时的)it is said that nearly half of all employees of the eu are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the eus administrative(管理方面的)costs are spent on this task.in the near future it is probably that several more countries，most of them having their own languages，will join the eu，thus making the situation even worse. the problem is not just cost：there are practical difficulties as well.with 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed.it is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) danish into greek，or dutch into portuguese，at a high professional standard.in practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of english in many contacts between eu officials，since almost all of them speak some english.however，any move to reduce the number of official languages(perhaps to four or five)would be a blow to the price of the smaller countries.another commonly suggested solution is to make english the official language for all eu business.however，this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like france and germany.1whats the main purpose of this passage?a. to give a solution to a problem.bto find out a problem and show how severe it is.cto criticize the european union for ill efficiency.dto show that the problem cannot be solved.答案：b推理判断题。本文的主题是说明欧盟内部语言问题的严重性，故选d。2according to the writer，the use of english in

taken seriously back then. outside, father and mr. patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. inside their own houses, mother and mrs. patrick were engaged in spring cleaning. somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. now, even at the risk of having brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the kitchen for string(线). it seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today. my mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping, a gun she cast a look toward the window. “come on, girls! lets take string to the boys and watch them on the way we met mrs. patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls. there never was such a day for flying kited! we played all our fresh string into the boys kites and they went up higher and higher .we could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. i think we were all beside ourselves. parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “perhaps its like this in the kingdom of heaven,” i thought confusedly. it was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. i suppose we had some sort of supper. i suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on sunday looked clean and orderly enough. the strange thing was, we didnt mention that day afterward. i felt a little embarrassed .surely none of the others had been as excited as i. i locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.” the years went on, then one day i was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.” “i cant go!” i said. “i have this and this to do, and when im through ill be too tired to walk that for.” my mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,“its a wonderful day,” she offered，“really warm , yet theres a fine breezy . do you remember that day we flew kites?” i stopped in my dash between stove and sink. the looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “come on.” i told my little girl. “youre right, its too good a day to miss.”another decade passed. we were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. allevening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest patrick boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. he had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. what was he thinking of what dark and horrible things? “say!” a smile slipped out from his lips. “do you remember - no, of course you wouldnt. it probably didnt make the impression on you as it did on me.” i hardly dared speak. “remember what?” “i used to think of that day a lot i
